This was the Big East Regular Season Finale, 2 of the Conference's best players and their teams went head to head. Ben Hansbrough led the Irish to a close win against the Uconn Huskies despite fouling out, the Irish won 70-67. Hansbrough had 21 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists before fouling out down the stretch. Hansbrough was largley responsible for harassing Kemba Waker when these teams met...

Villanova is no longer sliding, it's now a legitimate free fall.
Entering Monday nights game in South Bend, Indiana against the 7th ranked Irish from Notre Dame, Villanova had lost 6 out of 10 and it didn't look like it could get any worse. It did.
Blink, and Nova was down 14-4. Blink again and it was 30-15. Come halftime, Villanova was down 20 points having given up 47 points including 11 firs...

With several NBA scouts at Mizzou Arena checking out Baylor’s freshman forward Perry Jones; it was the Tigers frontcourt who stole the show.
Laurence Bowers scored 20 points, grabbed nine rebounds and recorded six steals, and Ricardo Ratliffe netted 11 points and 13 rebounds in the Tigers 77-59 over Baylor.
Juniors Bowers and Ratliffe may have not been the motive of why the scouts were in att...

The Louisville Cardinals had just lost to the Cincinnati Bearcats, they avenged that loss by running past the Uconn Huskies 71-58. It was the 3rd game in 5 days for the Huskies, the Cardinals didn't care as they surged past the Huskies in the 2nd half after the Huskies got the lead. Uconn had just come off a big win against Georgetown on Wednesday, that gave the Huskies their 20th win of the se...

HE'S BAAAACCCKKKK!!! Kemba Walker wanted the world to know his recent play against Providence wasn't just a fluke, he may have served notice to the rest of the Big East as well as Uconn beat Georgetown 78-70. The Hoyas had won 8 straight Big East games, the Huskies were trying to get back into the top of the Conference. The Huskies also got another big game out of Jamal Coombs-McDaniel, he had ...

The one positive thing Villanova can take from their heartbreaking, last second loss at Rutgers on Wednesday night? It's only February.
Down 10 with under 3 minutes to play, Rutgers made a barrage of unlikely shots, capped by a long 4-point play by Johnathan Mitchell with .8 seconds left on the clock to upset the 10th ranked Wildcats 77-76, in front of a raucous crowd at the RAC.
A free throw b...

The Wildcats have won back to back games; they are right back in the mix for a top four finish in the Big 12. Everything is back to normal in Wildcat country, right? False, once again, that senior leadership has taken a grasp over this team.
It appears that Curtis Kelly may have played his final game in a Kansas State uniform. Kelly, who has already missed 9 games, appears to once again b...

No one told Rick Pitino’s team that they aren’t supposed to compete in the Big East this year. With injuries galore, the Cards have been able to overcome all adversity and pull off two huge wins in the past week. Last Wednesday’s one-point victory over West Virginia was a coming of age win that may have changed the direction of the season. Being down 11 points at halftime, the Cards ralli...

Peyton Siva has had a decent year, today's game he was brilliant!! Siva had 19 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds, and 3 steals in leading the Cardinals to victory. Siva had some help in the form of Terrance Jennings with 16 points and 10 rebounds, now Louisville won 79-78 so it wasn't by a large margin. The game went into double overtime, both teams played their hearts out in typical Big East f...

There is no question in my mind that Tom Brady is a better overall quarterback than Ben Roethlisberger. But is Peyton Manning better than Big Ben? I’ll take Big Ben every time.
I am not arguing that Roethlisberger is a better pure quarterback than Manning because he is not even close. Manning is a pure pocket passer that is equally linked to Tom Brady. He actually may be better than Tom in th...

The Fighting Irish topped the Panthers 56-51 at the Petersen Events Center on Monday night.
I am shocked that Pittsburgh would drop a game like this at home against a team that has been up and down in the month of January. Also, Notre Dame is not the best road team in the world. They were winless on the road inside the Big East up until Monday night. Not only have they lost all of their Big E...

Some anticipated #19 Louisville’s game against St. John’s would be a trap game for the Cardinals. After a huge comeback in their last game against Marquette, it would have been easy for the Cards to have an emotional hangover and slip up against a highly improved St. John’s team that Rick Pitino predicted would win the Big East this year. However, the Cards dominated every aspect of Wedne...
